GanttPRO vs Plane: at a glance
What is GanttPRO?
GanttPRO ships a quarter's worth of features at a time, filed as blog tutorials.
This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, with the actual feature named after the colon. The two most recent — dashboard export with portfolio invitations, and a rebuilt list view — landed on the same day in August, after a three-month gap since the shared board-view link in May. Behind those sit table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker from March. Cadence is quarterly at best, and the gaps are filled with awards notices and evergreen tutorials.
What is Plane?
Plane ships a fortnightly digest, and the AI layer is where the real work is going.
Plane releases on a strict twice-monthly cadence, each entry a bundle rather than a single feature. The current window covers Pages becoming a document surface (toggle blocks, embedded widgets, nested-page zip export), Intake getting dashboard visibility, and Automations extending to modules, milestones, and releases. Underneath, Plane AI has been accumulating capability faster than any other area — Skills, an AI Block in Pages, live PQL results in chat, open-weight model options.

GanttPRO
5.0PM
GanttPRO ships a quarter's worth of features at a time, filed as blog tutorials.
◆ Current state
This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, with the actual feature named after the colon. The two most recent — dashboard export with portfolio invitations, and a rebuilt list view — landed on the same day in August, after a three-month gap since the shared board-view link in May. Behind those sit table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker from March. Cadence is quarterly at best, and the gaps are filled with awards notices and evergreen tutorials.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run through the recent work. One is giving people outside the project a way in: shared private links for board view, invitations to portfolios, dashboard export — each aimed at a stakeholder who needs the picture without a seat in the plan. The other is loosening the product's attachment to the chart it is named after, through the list view, board view and table reports. For a tool that sold one visualisation, methodically shipping all the others is the more consequential of the two.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next release to extend the sharing thread — export or link-based access to the views that do not yet have it — since three of the last four features have been about read-only distribution. The March AI chart maker has drawn no follow-up in the entries here, so whether it becomes a line of work or stays a one-off is not something this feed answers.
Plane
6.3PM
Plane ships a fortnightly digest, and the AI layer is where the real work is going.
◆ Current state
Plane releases on a strict twice-monthly cadence, each entry a bundle rather than a single feature. The current window covers Pages becoming a document surface (toggle blocks, embedded widgets, nested-page zip export), Intake getting dashboard visibility, and Automations extending to modules, milestones, and releases. Underneath, Plane AI has been accumulating capability faster than any other area — Skills, an AI Block in Pages, live PQL results in chat, open-weight model options.
◆ Where it's heading
The tracker is being rebuilt around two things it did not start as: a wiki with executable blocks, and a workspace where agent behaviour is authored and stored. Skills was the turn — instructions saved once and reused rather than re-typed — and the Pages work since has been about making the document a place where that output lands. The structural cleanups run alongside: epics folded into the work item type system, permissions redesigned into two layers, automations widened to more object types. It is consolidation, not sprawl.
◆ Prediction
The next digests likely extend Automations toward AI-triggered actions, since Skills, PQL, and rule-based automation now exist as separate pieces that obviously compose. The entries are digest summaries linking off-site, so per-feature depth is not readable from the feed.
